lark

Qi Yubai drove for nearly three hours in a row to get to the hotel where the film crew was staying, but he just hid in the car and smoked a few cigarettes before heading back again.

He came here for no purpose, and he didn't make a special trip to see Lin Nan, just to relieve his inner distress.

Qi Yubai didn't sleep well during this time.Many people know that it only takes 21 days to form a habit, but no one knows how long it takes to change a habit.He was used to having Lin Nan by his side, and when he suddenly returned to celibacy, in the middle of the night, he would always think that the person with a thin waist and a comfortable hug was still there, and as long as he raised his arm, he would rush into his arms .

The sky is full of stars, and the moonlight spreads like water.Sitting in the car, he couldn't feel how strong the wind was outside until he saw Lin Nan's appearance.The man's coat was not put on properly, there were two white things on his knees, the corners of his clothes were blown up by the wind, and the paper in his hand flew out, so he frantically picked it up again, just like before. Just thinner.

Seeing Lin Nan looking towards him, Qi Yubai simply and quickly extinguished the cigarette, and closed the car window amidst the strong smell of smoke.

Later, he drove back to City Y.There are two boxes of Lego Porsche models, which are birthday presents for Zhang Hong’s son, on the back seat. When passing speed bumps, the fragments in the boxes will make some noise when they collide with the walls and plastic, which is all the sounds in the car.

By the way, this car is also Zhang Hong's, and Qi Yubai will have to drive back to the company in a while, and then change his car back to the old house.On the way, he sent a text message to Zhang Hong: "I'm sorry, I smoked in your car for a while."

Birds sing and warblers sing, dew and frost form.

It was already dawn when he arrived at the old house. Ou Can saw him from the railing upstairs, waved to him from a distance, and shouted loudly: "Brother, it's so early!"

Qi Yubai parked the car and walked to the back of the building, intending to sit in the back garden.Ou Chan was just like her when she was a child, turning into her cousin's follower, running downstairs with a pot of steaming black coffee with a smile on her face.

The wooden chairs in the garden were covered with moisture, and the buried lamp was still on.The taste of coffee is particularly fragrant and charming in the morning, with a slightly astringent aftertaste, bitter and sweet aftertaste.

"Where have you been, Bondi?" Ou Can sat on his left, crossing a glass round table and asked him with his legs crossed.

Qi Yubai turned over a cup on the tray, took a coffee pot and poured a full cup for himself, and his expression relaxed after taking a sip.

"Don't put your hobbies on me."

"Tch——" Ou Chan took the coffee pot and poured himself a cup, saying, "You don't know how to pour the coffee I made for me."

Looking at the Sailor Moon pajamas on her body, Qi Yubai laughed and said, "How old are you? Why are you still wearing such clothes? Does my aunt care about you?"

Ou Chan also picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and let out an exaggerated "ah" sound from his mouth. After closing his eyes tightly, he opened them, and said in his mouth: "I'm finally saved, only coffee can keep my life alive." What's wrong with my pajamas? No matter how old a girl is, she has a girlish heart, and my mother is no exception." Speaking of this, he glanced at him, "But it's no wonder, you don't understand women."

She waved her hand at him contemptuously, obviously feeling that there was an insurmountable gap with him.

"Just open your mouth to say such things." Qi Yubai was amused by her, "Just because I don't like women doesn't mean I don't understand you, you just like to pretend to be young, am I right?"

"All right, all right." Ou Can nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Anyway, I'm still young, and you are the one who is old."

The two of them have never been used to talking properly, and they still haven't changed when they are over 31 and not young.

Last night, Bai Shaorong's family came to visit as guests, so they simply rested here for the night because they got together late, maybe they would have to eat two more meals today before heading home.After the hostess left, the villa was always deserted, and it only became lively when they came. In addition, Ou Chan was here this time, and the elders talked about her work and life-long events just by worrying about her. With endless topics, Qi Yubai guessed that they must have stayed in the living room until late at night.

At this moment, no one else in the villa is up yet, and the only room upstairs with lights on is the one where Ou Chan lives.

Qi Yubai glanced up and asked her slowly, "Why do you get up so early?"

"Jet lag." Ou Chan said casually.

"It's been several months since you've been back to China. What's the matter with jet lag?" Qi Yubai couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, don't ask any more, I'm annoying."

Seeing the bored expression on her face, Qi Yubai didn't ask any more questions, already equating this matter with a broken love in his heart.Whenever his cousin breaks up in love, he will always suffer.Either people suffer, or money suffers.Either I have to drink a few drinks with her, or I have to draw some blood to swipe her card, in short, I will not leave until I am satisfied.

But Qi Yubai envied her very much.When she is broken in love, she vents desperately, uses alcohol or other things to relieve the discomfort and depression in her heart, and she will be alive and kicking again after a while, which does not affect her brave pursuit of love all over the world.

Just as he was thinking, he turned around and saw that Ou Chan had already put down his coffee cup, and now he was looking at him boredly with his chin resting on his hands, his head was shaking from side to side, and the slippers on his feet were also shaking back and forth, with a very girlish demeanor.

"What do you want to say?" Qi Yubai asked.

Ou Chan smiled cunningly, moved forward with his elbow resting on his chin, sent his upper body forward, and raised his eyebrows at him: "Brother, I heard from my mother that you are broken in love?"

This tone made people feel gloating.

Qi Yubai picked up the cup and took another sip, holding the cup with his fingers stubbornly, refusing to put it down, and said, "What nonsense."

"It seems to be true?!" Ou Can blinked, with an extremely excited expression on his face, and complained: "I told my mother that it is absolutely impossible, only you can dump others, how can anyone else dump you? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, Boss Qi, you have today too?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Qi Yubai's face, and he asked, "What did my aunt tell you?"

"Just last night, when the older generation of revolutionaries got together, they definitely wanted to talk about you. Who told you not to be here?" She winked at Qi Yubai, with a very playful look, "Everyone, sighing Ah, it means that you have completely broken up with others, and it means that you have been decadent for many days, and you don’t even ride your favorite horse! When I heard it, it’s not a lovelorn or something? But keep asking, my mother Stopped it again, and winked at me to tell me not to talk too much. Tsk, you said you just fell out of love, so what's the fuss, who didn't make a mistake? I just fell out of love less than a week did I say anything? "

It was obvious that the elders would make him unhappy when they talked about his affairs in private, but Qi Yubai felt that it was no big deal when she said it out of his mouth. This kind of naturally optimistic and humorous personality can really bring a lot of happiness to those around him.

A faint smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, he closed his eyes and leaned back, resting his head on his hand, he said lazily and calmly, "Oh? Are you broken in love again?"

"Uh..." Ou Chan blew himself up, choked on the spot for a while, then changed the subject after a few seconds, "Don't talk about me. Why don't you talk about you."

She leaned forward again, reached out and patted Qi Yubai's sleeve, chattering endlessly in his right ear.

"Brother, tell me quickly, what kind of person is the other party, what does he do, how old is he, did he dump you? Or did you dump him?"

Qi Yubai opened his eyes and turned his head to ask amusedly, "Why should I tell you?"

"Let's talk about it." She simply pushed his arm and shook his head, "You said that this house is full of old antiques, and you have no friends, except for the one who is more boring than you Daddy Zhang Hong, I’m the only younger sister left to listen to what you have to say? Why don’t you seize the opportunity while I’m here? Come quickly.”

"Okay, okay." Qi Yubai was so scared of her that he took both hands from the back of his neck to prevent her from shaking.

"It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise me that you can't tell my father and aunt what we said today."

"Yeah, I promise, please trust the organization!" Ou Can raised the three fingers in the middle of his right hand to express his determination, looked at his cousin expectantly and curiously, and watched his expression gradually become gentle.

"Actually, I don't know where to start. He is an actor, named Lin Nan, Shuangmu Lin, Nan from the South."

"Lin Nan..." Ou Can couldn't help interjecting, "What a boring name."

"Tsk." Qi Yubai glanced at her, "Are you still listening?"

"Listen, I won't interrupt you."

Qi Yubai sat up straight and smiled as if recalling something: "But you're right, when I heard him introduce my name for the first time, I thought to myself, this name is really common."

Ou Chan gave him a sideways glance silently.

"At that time, he was still a little afraid of me. He stood in front of me and introduced himself with a trembling expression, as if he was worried that I would eat him."

"Hey wait--" Ou Can interrupted again, "Please bear with the content that is not suitable for children, and introduce his basic situation."

"What's not suitable for children..." Qi Yubai said helplessly, "What's going on in your mind. Listen carefully if you want to."

"Okay, okay, you can continue."

"He's an actor. I guess you haven't seen his drama. After all, he wasn't very famous before, and he just got better recently. If it wasn't because he couldn't get the drama, I guess he wouldn't come to me. But no matter what, in short We started seeing each other. I gave him some resources, and he stayed with me for a few nights."

In retrospect, the delicate and lingering emotional changes and physical contact can be expressed in words in just two or three sentences.

Ou Chan's lips parted little by little, and his two slender eyebrows frowned together: "You took care of him?"

She knows that her cousin likes to mess around, even Bai Shaorong is embarrassed to say this, but it is another experience to hear it directly.

"That's right." Qi Yubai nodded calmly, "You can sum it up like this."

He used to think that this nurturing relationship was a kind of resource exchange, and he never felt embarrassed.It wasn't until she really developed feelings for Lin Nan that she realized that such a beginning had actually more or less stigmatized this relationship.This is one of the reasons why relationships are always in the dark.

"But he didn't ask for anything from me." Qi Yubai added: "But if I really give him something, his reaction is generally very happy, and the scarf was also given to him last time."

Ou Can suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him! I thought there was something wrong with you when you came to my staff. Why are you so serious about sending Zhang Hong? Unless you have a crush on him!"

"Okay." Qi Yubai stopped her: "You repeatedly mentioned that Zhang Hong had to sneeze when he fell asleep."

Ou Chan laughed: "Okay, I won't mention him, let him sleep well. But brother, you are so stingy, you give someone a scarf with so much money?"

"That's compensation for him." Qi Yubai paused and said, "I once threw away a scarf of his, and I always feel bad about it."

"Why throw someone's scarf..." Ou Chan said disgustedly.

Qi Yubai said uncomfortably: "At that time, I misunderstood him and thought he was not clear with others, so I threw away the things he left in my car."

"Heh... man..."

"He seems to like the scarf I gave him, and he wears it often." Finally, it can be regarded as a good apology.

Ou Chan proudly said, "It's because I have a good eye."

Qi Yubai nodded with a smile: "I remember you."

"It's really nothing but the scarf. He basically doesn't talk to me, and he rarely begs me for his relatives. By the way, I forgot to tell you that there are a lot of things behind him, and the family relationship is quite complicated, similar to mine."

"How complicated are you..." Ou Can said quietly, "It's just a father."

Qi Yubai stared at the coffee for a while, and Ou Can asked again: "Then what kind of person is he? How did you fall in love with him afterwards?"

"He? He's a very weak person." Qi Yubai had a slight smile in his eyes, "Everything is easy to be nervous. You didn't see how panicked he was when he was learning horses. I yelled at him and he would panic , My family panicked when something happened, I often needed me to give him advice, and even asked me to refer to which movie to connect to later, how could I understand."

"Tsk tsk." Ou Can sighed, "Understood. She's such a pitiful beauty, she's fascinated you so much."

Qi Yubai couldn't help but add points for Lin Nan: "But he has a good temper, cooks delicious food, and is hardworking and self-motivated."

Although he never praised Lin Nan's cooking skills in person, he recognized it in his heart, but he was afraid that he would not practice hard if he praised him too much.

"As for liking him, maybe after getting along with him slowly, I feel that he is a very good person. After a long time, I will naturally develop a good impression. You probably don't understand me when I say this. I think it must be that he came to me as a backer in the entertainment industry. Love vanity. In fact, I thought so at first, but after meeting and chatting a lot, I realized that people have many faces. You and I are all human, and it is impossible to be flawless. He took shortcuts for his career, maybe there are The difficulty is not certain, after all, he had a very difficult life before meeting me."

He paused, then continued: "Besides, I am not a noble person myself. If I were a gentleman, I would not recognize him at all. When a person with a moral flaw meets another imperfect person, no one should go Who do you despise?"

Qi Yubai has changed a lot from looking down on him at the beginning to trying to understand him and thinking about things from his standpoint.

"Maybe." Ou Chan nodded speculatively, but in her heart she felt that what her brother said was not necessarily true, he was just wearing a lover filter.

"Do you like him very much, do you love him?" Ou Can asked.
